Abstract

Studies indicate that teachers with research-based teaching conceptions are more likely to implement practices involving students to think independently and critically. This thesis tries to make a theoretical study of the research-based teaching model to help foster students' critical thinking while reading in English. According to the author, three elements are important in facilitating this learning, namely, teaching philosophy, teachers and learning context. Specifically, this paper probes the important teaching and learning strategies in terms of teachers' behaviour. At the end of the article, a conclusion is made that learning outcome can be improved with adoption of a variety of teaching methods in reading course.
